You Know Better...So What's Stopping You From Doing Better - Dr. Vian Nguyen
Why do we know what we should do, yet struggle to actually do it?
After 20 years as an OB-GYN and serving as Chief Medical Officer of a healthcare system reaching over 200,000 patients, Dr. Vian Nguyen realized something profound: More information, better advice, and greater access don't necessarily change human behavior.
That realization sparked an unexpected career pivot. From physician and healthcare executive to entrepreneur and founder of Behavior, a technology company reimagining how we understand ourselves, our environments, and the decisions we make.
In this episode of Soulful Career Calling, we explore:
The knowledge-action gap: Why knowing better doesn't always lead to doing better.
A courageous career pivot: Walking away from an established executive career to pursue a problem she couldn't ignore.
Rethinking technology: How Behavior uses simulated environments to reveal behavioral patterns and help people better understand themselves.
The future of work and human potential: How behavioral insights could help young adults, employers, and institutions make more informed decisions.
Finding clarity through action: Why uncertainty doesn't mean you're on the wrong path and why taking the first step often matters more than having the perfect plan.
Dr. Nguyen's journey is a powerful reminder that your calling may begin with a problem you can't stop thinking about and the courage to do something about it.

More Than Skin Deep - A Plastic Surgeon Finds Meaning in Medicine with Dr. Amir Tahernia
Building a successful career is one thing. Finding the part of it that feels deeply meaningful is another.
In this episode of Soulful Career Calling, I sit down with Dr. Amir Tahernia, a double board certified plastic surgeon, to talk about his journey from building a Beverly Hills practice to finding greater purpose through reconstructive surgery.
We talk about:
• Finding purpose within your existing career and why fulfillment doesn’t always require starting over.
• Following your strengths and how Amir’s natural aptitude for science, problem solving and complex procedures helped shape his path into plastic surgery.
• The life changing impact of reconstructive surgery, helping patients restore function, confidence and quality of life after living with physical and emotional pain.
• Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), a misunderstood and often underdiagnosed condition that has become an important focus of Amir’s reconstructive work.
• The power of mentorship and why having people you respect and can learn from can shape the direction of your career.
• Hard work and alignment and Amir’s advice for building a career around what you’re good at, what draws you in and where you can make a meaningful impact.
Finding your calling isn’t always about finding a new path. Maybe it’s about finding the place on your path where your gifts can matter most.

The Forecast She Never Saw Coming with Maria Quiban
What happens when the career you were told was out of reach becomes the one you build for nearly three decades—and when unimaginable loss gives you an entirely new sense of purpose?
In this episode of Soulful Career Calling, I sit down with Maria Quiban, longtime Good Day LA meteorologist, author, and certified grief educator, for a deeply personal conversation about trusting yourself, challenging the limits others place on you, and allowing life’s hardest chapters to shape new purpose.
Maria shares how she went from a smaller television market to Los Angeles despite being told the leap was unlikely and how listening to her own instincts helped her build a nearly 27-year career at the same station.
But her story extends far beyond meteorology. After losing her husband, Shawn, to brain cancer, Maria turned her family’s experience with love, loss, and “choosing joy” into a way to serve others. That journey led to her book, You Can’t Do It Alone, becoming a certified grief educator, and creating her new e-guide, The Things They Don’t Tell You About Loss and Grief.
In this episode, we talk about:
Why someone else’s “ceiling” for your life doesn’t have to become your own
Trusting your intuition when your next career move feels uncertain
How Maria broke into a major television market and built a lasting career
Choosing joy and creating memories in the midst of anticipatory grief
The power of community when navigating loss
How grief can reshape your identity, career, and sense of purpose
Turning painful life experiences into meaningful work that serves others
Why you don’t need every answer before taking your next step
Maria’s story is a powerful reminder that purpose isn’t always something we find. Sometimes it’s something we create from what life hands us and how we choose to use it.
